On July 16, 2002 Job Harrison
McCully was diagnosed with high risk Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia at the age of four. Job and his family traveled to Methodist
Children's Hospital in San Antonio,
TX for a bone marrow transplant
(BMT). Job received his BMT on 10/8/02 and began his journey towards healing.
Job has had many complications, infections, and hospital stays since that day
and God has continued to bring him through them all. One of the many problems
that Job has faced is a lung disease, Bronchiolitis Obliterans that has caused severe damage to his lungs. Job
has greatly reduced lung function and his lungs are becoming thickened which
causes them to lose their elasticity---this has resulted in his team of doctors
from Arkansas Children's Hospital to begin the preparation for a lung
transplant.
Job's doctors are referring him to
Texas Children's Hospital to begin the transplant process. After the completion
of all paperwork, medical evaluations, and approvals, Job will be put on a
waiting list. The family will be required to re-locate temporarily to Houston, TX
to await his transplant. The average waiting time is two to three months. They
will also be required to stay for a minimum of three months post transplant.
Their expected stay in Houston
is approximately six months. The family does have medical insurance but their
expected expenses are still very high. The transplant is very serious and
carries many risks for Job.
Please join Job, his family, his
friends, and his church in praying for a miracle-Job's Miracle.
Please consider donating to help
cover the medical expenses, monthly expenses of the family, and the expense of
temporarily re-locating. To donate click here DONATE. All prayers and donations are appreciated.
